Territorial Bancorp Inc.
Announces Fourth Quarter 2011 Results
Honolulu, Hawaii, February 2, 2012 - Territorial Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: TBNK) (the “Company”), headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, the holding company parent of Territorial Savings Bank, announced net income of $3.4 million or $0.33 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $3.2 million or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company earned $12.8 million or $1.19 per basic share and $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $11.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, or $0.97 per basic and diluted share.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors today approved a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.10 per share. The dividend is expected to be paid on March 1, 2012 to stockholders of record as of February 16, 2012.
Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said “This past year we have worked hard to originate quality residential mortgage loans. I am proud of our accomplishment since many other banks have found it difficult to grow their loan portfolio because of low demand and a high level of prepayments of existing loans. Another focal point was to increase our net interest margin, which was a difficult task, given the low interest rate environment. We also strived to enhance shareholder returns and in December of 2011 announced our third stock repurchase program. In addition I am pleased to announce that because of our strong performance we will be increasing our quarterly dividend to $0.10 per share.”
Interest Income
For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, net interest income was $13.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. The growth in net interest income was due to an $876,000 increase in interest and dividend income earned and a $306,000 decrease in interest expense. Total interest and dividend income was $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $15.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The growth in interest and dividend income occurred primarily due to an increase in interest earned on investment securities which totaled $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and also an increase in interest earned on loans which totaled $9.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $8.9
million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increases in interest income earned on investment securities and loans was partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on other investments which totaled $67,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $112,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Interest Expense and Provision for Loan Losses
Total interest expense decreased to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a $250,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits and a decrease of $108,000 in interest expense on securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Provision for loan losses increased to $335,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $69,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $939,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $311,000 increase in gain on sale of investment securities and a $315,000 increase in gain on sale of loans.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased to $8.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to lower salary and employee benefit expense, occupancy expense and federal deposit insurance premiums. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in equipment expense.
Year Ended December 31, 2011 Results
For the year ended December 31, 2011 net interest income was $51.4 million compared to $46.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Total interest and dividend income increased to $62.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $61.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Total interest expense decreased to $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due to decreases in interest expense on deposits and in interest paid on securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Provision for loan losses increased to $418,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $345,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Noninterest income was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase in noninterest income was primarily due to no other-than-temporary impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to a loss of $2.4 million recognized for the year ended
December 31, 2010. Also, the gain on sale of loans increased to $711,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $442,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, gain on sale of investment securities rose to $451,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $350,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and other noninterest income grew to $697,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $322,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. These increases were offset by reductions in service fees on loan and deposit accounts to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 and income on bank-owned life insurance to $968,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Noninterest expense was $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $31.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, and other general and administrative expenses. A significant portion of the increase in compensation and employee benefits was due to expenses accrued for the employee stock ownership plan that was part of the conversion to a publicly held company and awards made under the equity incentive plan that was approved by the stockholders in August, 2010. The increase in these expenses was offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.
Assets and Equity
Total assets grew to $1.537 billion at December 31, 2011 from $1.443 billion at December 31, 2010. Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $131.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $194.4 million at December 31, 2010. Investment securities available for sale decreased to zero at December 31, 2011 from $15.0 million at December 31, 2010. Investment securities held to maturity increased to $653.9 million as of December 31, 2011 from $530.6 million at December 31, 2010. Loans receivable grew to $688.1 million at December 31, 2011 from $641.8 million at December 31, 2010 due to an increase in residential mortgage loan originations. The growth in investment securities and loans receivable was funded primarily by an $89.6 million increase in deposits, a $10.0 million increase in FHLB advances, a $3.1 million increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and a $62.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Deposits increased to $1.166 billion at December 31, 2011 from $1.076 billion at December 31, 2010. Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $214.0 million at December 31, 2011 from $227.4 million at December 31, 2010. The change in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the Company’s earnings for the year ended December 31, 2011, which were offset by the cost of shares repurchased under the Company’s stock buyback program and payment of dividends for 2011. The Board of Directors has authorized three repurchase programs. Through the end of December 31, 2011, these buyback programs repurchased a total of 1,336,975 shares through December 31, 2011, compared to 55,707 shares as of December 31, 2010.
Asset Quality
Total delinquent loans 90 days or more past due and not accruing was $2.3 million (12 loans) at December 31, 2011, compared to $808,000 (7 loans) at December 31, 2010. Asset quality remained strong with the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increasing to 0.22% at December 31, 2011 from 0.06% at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2011 was $1.5 million and represented 0.22% of total loans. At December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $1.5 million and represented 0.23% of total loans.
